My next sewing projects and my summer sale

I have a load of items for sale in my Etsy Shop. I have too much inventory and some things are going to expire soon, so I figured I'd mark things down. Plus with my husband away for a few days this week, I'll have some extra time at night for extra sewing. I have plans to make Heather Bailey's Happy Stacker ring toy (which looks a bit complicated). In fact I am making one tester ring right now out of some scrap flannel, just to see how tricky it is. I bought the pattern from Fabric to Sew, another Etsy seller.

If the pattern works out, I'll be using some beautiful Heather Bailey Pop Garden fabric that I got from StarLitNest. I love that shop, it's one of my favorites!

I also have three different sets of 2 coordinating fabrics to make the City Tote, an adorable purse from a Keykalou pattern. So far I made one City Tote from the pattern. It came out great and I decided to keep it for myself. I get compliments on it all the time.

I also have plans for some additional Jumble Balls, and if time permits, some quilted drink coasters from the smaller pieces left from all this sewing!
